Intel is developing its own take on the mini-tablet, with a new ultra-mobile PC platform to be announced at this week's Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. The big surprise? It's based on Linux. In the meantime, Intel announced new details of its forthcoming Santa Rosa PC platform, including a significant revision of the Core 2 Duo chip.

No they're not, and there are no sales figures to support that in any way, shape or form.

I also don't know why you say that Nokia Tablets are selling well (plural), because Nokia don't have many tablets to sell at all. What they do sell are the Nokia 770, and the N800, which is just an evolution of the same thing. They're just unstable beta test pieces of kit for Linux, with some open source software on them, for the open source Linux enthusiast crowd to lap up. That's not commercially successful.

Nokia have not pushed the device particularly hard commercially; they seem to have been pretty clear from the outset that the strategic aim is to create a viable Linux mobile platform. In that sense the project seems to have been fairly successful. There is a chicken and egg situation here: without there being a viable device for linux development there will be no successful open platform. Contrast with this the Motorola approach: writing their own interface to sit on top of Linux with virtually no Linux community around it.

By the way, from what I can tell the N770/N800 are far from being unusable pieces of beta kit. I assume that segedunum you are basing this on actually trying the device and not just on rumour and speculation?
